My New Year’s Eve makeup look was inspired by Pantone Color Of The Year 2014; Radiant Orchid. Pinky Purple a great spring color of warmth that looks great on everyone. It’s such a flirty color that I feel so feminine wearing it. The plus is that Radiant Orchid makes you look youthful and it brighten the face. As always I’m always trying to find makeup products on a budget that won’t break your private/emergency stash. We all want to look glamxurious but not everybody can keep up with the looks we see on the runway.

It’s that time of the year to pull out the winter clothes with one item being my favorite to wear; PONCHOS. I’m a big fan of ponchos and when I shared with Project Runway designer Beatrice Guapo from Season 10 that I wanted something fun, yet fashionable to wear at Sundance Film Festival, she designed me this great piece. I wanted tribal pattern, a pop of color, plus something that would look fab with my faux fur russian ushanka hat & goggles. Beatrice nailed it with adding faux fur on the bottom giving it a little glam, a little of me. I’m so in love with this poncho because it goes with everything and I can dress it up or down and it’s a custom poncho just for me.
